Supporting Legal Excellence: A Commitment to Tomorrow’s Leaders

Our Managing Senior Partner John Dryllerakis and Senior Partner Cleomenis Yannikas recently attended the prestigious Awards Ceremony held at the Great Hall of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, recognizing the achievements of Law School students in international legal competitions over the past academic year. The event, attended by distinguished figures, including Rector Professor Gerasimos Siasos and Dean of the School of Law Professor Dr. Konstantinos Christodoulou, celebrated the dedication and accomplishments of future legal professionals.

A highlight of the ceremony included the recognition of an exceptional all-female team, co-sponsored by our Firm, for their outstanding performance in the prestigious European Law Moot Court Competition. Under the academic guidance of Dr. Manolis Perakis, Associate Professor of EU Law, the team—comprising Alexandra Alexaki, Eleni Vasilaki, Eleni-Maria Kotzia, Sophia Bantana, and Despoina Malliarou—demonstrated remarkable skill, advancing to the Regional Final in Lyon (February 27 – March 2, 2025) after excelling in the written phase. Their efforts culminated in a top-16 global ranking, with Eleni-Maria Kotzia receiving a special commendation for her exemplary role as the European Commission representative. At the core of our mission is the belief in nurturing emerging talent and advancing excellence in the legal profession. We are honored to have supported these students in their journey and look forward to witnessing the lasting impact of their contributions to the field.
